A tale of bravery which puts us all to shame
We're certain that when our new Prime Minister comes to publish his book, Courage, in a paperback edition he will expand it to feature nine portraits of bravery. After all, who couldn't be moved by Victoria Newton's report of Posh Spice's 'bravery':
BRAVE POSH SPICE attended yesterday’s press conference just two days after suffering...
Brace yourselves, everybody
... a SPIDER bite.
Not a poisonous, life-threatening spider. Just a slightly itchy spider bite.
Such bravery.

I saw the press conference last night; very interesting to note how sniffy both Voctoria and Geri got when someone suggested that the reunion was anything other than 'for the fans'.
I can't help buy wonder who on earth they think the target market IS for this reunion?
With Take That, it did make sense - they had the intact reputation (they've been out of the spotlight for long enough that everyone's remembers them fondly - even Barlow had the sense to stop plugging away and retire gracefully for a few years), they didn't appear to be doing it JUST for the money, and they had the perfect market ready and waiting (former teen screamers now full of giggly nostalgia and with plenty of disposable income). Not to mention the gimmick of hinting that Blobbie Williams might show up. Bingo! Reunion success.
How does this work for the Spicies exactly? They've been hanging around desperately trying to stay famous for so long that they've pissed all over their own reputation, they have NO motivation for reforming other than the money, and all their former fans surely feel nothing but embarrassment about the fact, even the truly obsessed ones. Especially the obsessed ones! Who wants to own up to the fact that they once owned a pair of Buffalo platform trainers and a leopard-print crop top??
Oh wait, sorry - I forgot about The Gays. Carry on.
Would this be a good time for me to draw your attention to this TV highlight? Victoria and Emma's 2001 appearance on the Daily Show, presumably during an attempt to 'crack' America.
Notice how Victoria becomes quite angry and snappy after misunderstanding one too many of Jon Stewart's jokes. Meanwhile Emma tries her hardest to muddle through, before giving up and concentrating on trying to become invisible.
But what about those two unsightly swellings just under her chin? Or have two Bob Todd impersonators joined the band now for added Benny Hill style pizazz? ?
